That's just a more complicated way of notating something that's, at its essence, a waltz.
Edit: actually I don't think that notation is accurate. Everything in Hard Sun except the vocals is based off a triplet.

I think it's all in 6/8, counted in 2, which gives it a swing feel.
The really cool thing about 6/8, is you can count it as 1, 2, 1, 2, etc., but then subdivide those 2 beats in half, essentially layering a 4/4 beat over top of the 6/8, or change it entirely. I think the guitars and drums are playing in the 6/8 swing feel, with every beat coming on one of the 6 beats, but the vocals are sung mostly in 4/4, with divisions relative to that time signature.
Listen to this. At about 3:26 Bill starts layering the 4/4 over the 6/8.
Dream Theater does a similar thing in New Millennium.
No. It's a simple swing beat, maybe played a bit behind/forward, but that's basically it.I don't know, if you listen to Eddie's strum if feels like 4/4 which would agree with @la noise.

You're right. I was gonna look it up, but thought my memory was good enough, haha!Love this song and the movie. (the book was great too)
It's Alan White, but yea, that drum part is really cool.
It's played in triplets, so you can view it that way, essentially cutting each measure in half, but still hearing 4/4. That also agrees with the score posted.No. It's a simple swing beat, maybe played a bit behind/forward, but that's basically it.
This.The question is moot anyway so long as you can accurately notate it in either time signature. Maybe we need to ask Mr Vedder!
Correct. The song is from a project called Indio (album name Big Harvest) from Canadian musician Gordon Peterson. Really great album, and the only one mr. Peterson ever did, unfortunately...
Mr Vedder didn’t write it though.
The last 2 measures of that posted score aren't triplets. I completely understand how you can count it in 4 (or 2, like I said), instead of 6/8, which is what the songs feels like anyway because of the fast (relative to 6/8) tempo, but if you do, then everything written should be triplet-based, which those measures are not. That's why I said I don't see the notation as accurate.It's played in triplets, so you can view it that way, essentially cutting each measure in half, but still hearing 4/4.

A friend brought a recording of a gospel tune she liked that was written by one of her church ladies, and I played it on my guitar after learning the chords. She really freaked out when I started throwing on licks from The Cranberries' "Zombie", which had the same chord progression....PS: I'd be a wise-ass and play the riff "Sweet Child of Mine" over the verses.
Hah! Not sure if you're familiar with P&W, but there's a huge song, Revelation Song, that uses the same progression as Duran Duran's 'Ordinary World'. The guys over at Worship Tutorials pointed this out and had a bit of fun using the Ordinary World solo in there. Anyway, I did it in a worship service! Loved it, sounded great!A friend brought a recording of a gospel tune she liked that was written by one of her church ladies, and I played it on my guitar after learning the chords.

ThisInteresting beat indeed. I'd call it half time with a touch of swing. He's hitting on the 1, 2, and the and of 4. It's that and that makes it feel behind the beat to me.
